Part one showed how to encourage tertiary and quantiary branching. This post shows how to establish of the next layer of branching (quintary?). The illustrations are from our Juniper book.

In the bonsai world, it’s not unusual to hear or see primary, secondary and tertiary when it comes to branching. I’m not sure you’ll ever hear quantiary or quintary (or beyond). When it gets to that point, what you’ll normally hear is twigs, fine branching, delicate ramification, or some variation on those themes.
